When God's good news doesn't feel like good news, our instinct is to grumble out of fear rather than respond with humility and faith. Drawing from the Christmas story of Mary and Joseph, this sermon argues that both of them faced real costs — threatened security, broken trust, lost reputation — when God invited them into His plan. Yet both chose humble surrender over fearful grumbling, and in doing so they got to behold the glory of the Messiah. The invitation of Christmas is to do the same: stop fighting God's news, trust His grace, and discover that anything leading us to Jesus is good news of great joy for everyone.
